Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As the New Year approached, I was trying to think of something
that I could do to help me to be more motivated to exercise and maybe even shift some of the previous lockdown and now Christmas  pounds 😊.

Then an idea popped into my mind about having a dance each day
to get myself moving. I started to think about how I could motivate myself to actually do it. That’s when I thought let’s do it for charity 😊.

In 2018 I was diagnosed with something called Wolff Parkinson
White Syndrome (WPW) which affects the rhythm of the heart and can cause blackouts and at worst Cardiac Arrest. The following year I had corrective surgery to remove the extra electrical pathway that was causing my episodes, things like waking up in the middle of the night with a heart rate of 170 or more! I also had to go to hospital (my one claim to a blue light trip in an ambulance!!)
to be monitored and on 2 occasions have a drug to bring my heart rate back down.
Since the surgery I have realised that some of the unexplained things that had made me unwell at times would have been because of this Wolff lurking around my heart, staying hidden for all those years as it is a condition that you are born with.

For me once it was found and dealt with, I have been lucky
enough not to need any help from this charity and have been heart healthy since, but I know that is not the case for everyone and I also know that it is very hard to get a definite or quick diagnosis for this syndrome. So AARHYTHMIA ALLIENCE has become my chosen charity for this event.
